Horse Latitudes

Black Flag #8

by Rachel Ford

Sometimes, silence is just the quiet before the storm.

When the Black Flag crew is assigned to transport a young Union ambassador on his first diplomatic mission, they're promised a few weeks of quiet downtime. Easy money.

What they find is a diplomatic quagmire. On one side is an untrusting, desperate, and dying world willing to do anything to anyone in order to secure their own survival. On the other is their thriving neighbor: equally desperate, but for entirely different reasons.

And dead in the water, the Black Flag readies to weather the coming storm - weather it, or be swept away in its fury.

Wow! Another fast paced sci fi adventure with my favorite space faring crew. This was a twisty situation to unravel, but the Black Flag crew manage to figure out what was going on. It was a nail biter at the end. On to the Lady Bane.
